      Verdict

      PRINCESS NIEVE has won a classified race but this isn’t any tougher and this extra distance will suit George Boughey’s unexposed filly. Liberated Lad won easily over 1m6f at Southwell on Friday and carries a 5lb penalty. He’s preferred to Going Underground, who has won over a mile here and didn't stay 1m2f on Friday, while Strong Team has placed over track and trip and makes most appeal of the remainder.
